Understanding Châteaudun castle

• The residence of a faithful companion in arms to John of Arc. John of Dunois, known as the ‘Bastard of Orleans’ and half-brother to King Charles VI, transformed the old feudal castle into a light, comfortable dwelling and added the Holy Chapel. Works started around 1450 but were only completed around 1530.
